@ArchLuminous @RambleMan51 I do believe I saw a statistic that 49% of Christian women are ok with dating someone outside their faith. Furthermore, the study's participates mentioned that unbelievers pursue them more than believers.

@RambleMan51 You were going to church despite not being Christian to look for dating opportunities and you're surprised that actual Christians don't want you and their families protect them from you. You idiot. 😂🤣

I’ve been to church many times despite not being a Christian, here’s my take -Most Churches are 100% old people and children under 12. -Girls at Church are surrounded by family -Their family is there to keep YOU away -You, the single man, will be treated similarly to a coyote

@smashbaals its an odd tension indeed. Historically, we have seen what happens when the state and Church merge. However, we know that politics and policy are rooted in some form of foundational virtue ethic, which is ultimately downstream of theology for both theist and atheist.

It’s weird to see Christians who hate even the idea of a Christian Nation My brother in Christ, what do you want?

@JesstersDead @SolaSixMillion Its really easy to understand! Just adopt a literal historical-grammatical hermeneutic and you are well on your way!

@SolaSixMillion American dispensationalism is a cancer that I truly just do not understand...

If you want G-d to bless America, you need to start blessing Israel. “For whatever a man sows, that he shall also reap”

@cavalier973 Whether Churches accept it or not does not necessarily make it false. This would just be band-wagoning.

Dispensationalism is not actually popular. Most churches reject it, because taking verses out of context is more fun.

@IndianLuke @BriannaWu Dispensationalism does not prescribe Zionism. It makes a distinction between the Church and Israel derived from a literal historical-grammatical hermeneutic.

@BriannaWu I'm an American. I support America. I suggest you read the New Testament more. Dispensationalism is false.

I’m a democrat. Here is the truth for any democrat running for office. If you don’t support Israel, I don’t need to hear another word from you. Because your moral judgment is so fundamentally flawed, you will come to bad conclusions about healthcare, foreign policy and civil rights. It’s the world’s easiest call. Do you decide with terrorists or the victims of terrorism.

@PeterSilliman @IsMrAndre @JosephSwar86703 This is a strawman of what Dispensationalism teaches. There is no salvation outside of God's revelation. This is core Dispensational thought

@IsMrAndre @JosephSwar86703 It's a made-up doctrine. No prophet of God says "God saves you this way now and will save you a different way in the future."

Luk 1:6 Zachariah and Elizabeth were both righteous before God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord. That isn't a claim they were "sinless." It is a claim they were obedient and forgiven. Something we are all capable of being.

@Lumichaoss There is beauty in diversity. Even diversity of thought. Difference of opinions/interpretations can lead to quality conversations and even enhanced critical thinking.

why do different churches interpret the same Bible verse in completely different ways?

@osasisHERESY OSAS believes that salvation is through Christ alone. We also believe that Christ preserves His elect (Jn 17:12).

Once saved always saved isn't the gospel I don't have to believe osas to be saved I have to have faith in Jesus to be saved

The term "evangelical" has morphed into a vague definition. It is now synonymous with culture, politics, race, and even sexual identification. The term, as @CoryMMarsh2 coined, is jello-like. With that, I am not surprised to see these statistics.

57% of evangelicals believe most people are good by nature. That directly contradicts the Bible. 56% believe God accepts the worship of ALL religions. That directly contradicts Christianity. 43% don't believe Jesus is God. That directly contradicts the entire point. These are people who call themselves Christians. You don't have a faith problem in the church. You have a definition problem.

@DiscipleFidei Joseph Smith did not anticipate the internet lol

The only way to make it out of the Mormon church alive is to read the Bible.

@jaxmarie82 @DiscipleFidei To be fair, Satan quoted from Scripture as well.

@DiscipleFidei Interesting because we study it two out of every four years as a church. Also our leaders quote passages from it twice a year in General Conference. And it isn’t Mormon’s church. It is the Church of Jesus Christ. Bless your heart.

This question often arises, more so in the evangelical camp. There are a couple reasons we should avoid sin. First, sin has natural consequences. The wages of sin is death according to Paul's letter to the Romans. In other words, sin has wages attached to it. Now it is true that the truly regenerate has had their wages paid in full at the Cross. However, there are real consequences in this life. If you commit the crime, then you will do the time. Second, sin mares our witness for Christ. We cannot fully represent the joy of the Lord when we ourselves are A) suffering the consequences of our sin, and B) behaving as if the power of the Gospel has no effect on us. Thirdly, while it is true that a true regenerate believer can never be separated from Christ, sin does hinder our relationship with God. Be it ego when we refuse to repent and cannot honestly surrender. Be it shame where we, like Adam, hide from God. I am sure there are more reasons, but these should be adequent enough to motivate the regenerate to run from sin.

@Exodus15_11 I would argue that Dispensationalism and Reformed theology go hand in hand. Both elevate the sovereignty of God. In fact, a return to a literal historical-grammatical hermenutic of Scripture is what birthed the Reformation.

Reformed Theology Reformed Theology will cloud many people's ability to understand the correct eschatological view of God's plan which is Jew-centric, not Church-centric. Those who roll their eyes at that statement reveal a form of narcigesis, thinking that the Scriptures are about them and the Church, whereas it's about God's coming reign which is the Millennial-Davidic Kingdom. "Christianized nations" are not what the Scripture foretells as the Son of God is Jesus the Jewish Messiah, and He will return to begin His Kingdom when He offers the Kingdom to a repentant Jew. This time, they will receive Him as Messiah, Savior, and He will reign at Jerusalem as King. The nations will be under His global rule, headquartered at Jerusalem by a spiritually reborn Israel who will operate as the King's spiritual head of the nations. Again, the above irks those of Covenant Theology, a man-made fabrication which will be exposed as fraudulent at the Second Coming.

@_P3te_Belcher @jerr_rrej Pride often blinds. However, I would not be surprised if he experienced some hurt from within the church

@dispyology @jerr_rrej It's funny how prideful and self righteous many of these "anti-church gathering" people are.

Church Christians will treat their family like garbage and make a showy display of treating strangers with compassion. They are self righteous just like the Pharisees. This is why the return of Christ will destroy churches and remove all authority from elders, pastors and priests.

@xonphused Yeah, the New Testament was written in Koine Greek. Thus, every reference to Christ was in Greek

@dispyology Lies

If yall love Jesus so much and believe there’s power in his name, why don’t you call him in his actual name? Why the white washed version?

Dispensationalism does not, nor has it ever, placed any faith in a "resurgence of national Israel." It does, however, provide a distinction between the Church and Israel derived from a literal historical-grammatical hermeneutic. Zionism is a cultural fad, and not a prescription of Dispensationalism.

@Matt070173 They've receives persecution in many ages. Not sure what this has to do with it. Dispensationalism is not a teaching about end times; rather it teaches that you hope in the resurgence of national Israel, which is another gospel.

I am a newcomer to Progressive Dispensationalism (the MacArthur type, not the Ryrie type). I am one of those rare birds who grew up with amillennial, historicist views of Revelation (LCMS and 1689 Reformed Baptist) and switched the other way. I always was skeptical of dispensational eschatology because I never in my own life saw widespread animosity toward people of ethnic Jewish heritage, even those who became Christians. But in the last couple of years, at least online, I have definitely seen how the dispensational view of the Great Tribulation could happen and it has reinforced my view that such a persecution of them is not only possible, but probable, as part of the eschaton.

@eth39232 @Lumichaoss Yeah but you guys are all over the place with the Church's birth. Some say Acts 9 while others say Acts 28. Acts 2 provides the clearest, and more objective, indication with the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.

@Lumichaoss Baptists are least bad but still quite bad. Mid Acts Pauline Dispensationalism strives to understand the Bible with precision more than any denomination.

which Christian denomination do you think explains the Bible most consistently?

@godlywomanhood Wouldn't that be insulting to justify women preaching because a donkey talked?

Women who support female preachers will argue that God used a donkey to speak. God never forbid donkeys from teaching and speaking in the churches. He forbids women from doing this. Besides, the donkey wasn’t in a church. Every argument for female preachers fails when measured by Scripture.
